Robotics & Automation Workforce Bootcamp Series

FREE to Attend!

The Robotics & Automation Workforce Bootcamp Series is a stackable, hands-on training pathway designed to take learners from foundational robotics concepts to advanced industrial automation applications. Across four immersive bootcamps, participants develop skills in robot programming and motion control, industrial safety and workcell integration, electrical wiring and I/O troubleshooting, and advanced robotic platforms including 6-axis industrial arms, autonomous quadrupeds, and humanoid systems. Utilizing industry-relevant equipment such as collaborative robots, industrial conveyors, sensors, and autonomous robotic platforms, students gain practical experience performing the same tasks found in modern manufacturing and Industry 4.0 environments.

Each bootcamp is structured as a two-day, instructor-led intensive followed by a certification-focused third day aligned with the SME Robotics in Manufacturing Fundamentals (RMF) Body of Knowledge. While each bootcamp can be taken independently, together they form a comprehensive learning pathway that progressively builds technical competency across robot programming, safety, hardware, sensors, controls, and manufacturing automation systems. 

Students who complete all four bootcamps will have covered the major domains of the RMF certification framework and will be well-prepared to earn the nationally recognized Robotics in Manufacturing Fundamentals (RMF) certification, validating their readiness for careers in robotics, automation, advanced manufacturing, and industrial technology.

Bootcamp 1 | July 7-9 | Robotics Programming & Motion Fundamentals
